Mainspring

[donk 12]

Ive got an old webley vulcan that im thinking of restoring,by that i mean replacing the mainspring and any other bits that look worn.

Anyone offer any advice on how to do it? Any diagrams kicking about? Any sort of kits that i might be able to use etc etc.

from experience with other springers, bsa meteor and gamo magnum, you will need some pin drifts (flat ended punches), a couple of screwdrivers, light gun oil 3 in 1 is good, petrol to clean of grubby greasy bits some fine sandpaper, scotchbrite and a few rags. plus some patience.

 

just be organised and keep all small bits like pins and seals in bit bins or tupperware containers.

 

if you rub down the stock and oil it it will look good too

 

a good tip is to make a cleaning rod from stiff wire like welding rod and twist a loop in the end, shove rag through the loop, dunk it in petrol and use it to clean the inside of the cylinder.

Stick a gas ram in it cheap enough

Well i finally got this finished,i've been a bit tied up with work and college so it's taken longer than normal.

Ive basically replaced the pistonhead seal,breech seal and mainspring (ox),i was going to do the stock but,well,i grew impatient and wanted to get out and get it sighted in. I used beretta oils and bisley grease on the spring.

Everything was pretty straight forward, trigger was a bit fiddly but i made a note of where everything was as i took the rifle apart.

Hopefully get out with it within the next couple of days.
